Request: How to find where a website is sending reset password link? - DangerLizard - Aug 24, 2015

I'd like to know how to find out the email address a reset password link is being sent to on the website WeHeartIt using either TamperData or Inspect Element in chrome. Since it's not a hugely popular website I assume the security isn't as good.

You, as the end user, may never actually be exposed to the email address. It's most likely handled through the back-end of the website. An 'unpopular' website doesn't necessarily convey 'insecure'; Having all the software up to date would present no security vulnerabilities from a non-experienced user's perspective.

Hmm interesting. Yeah that makes sense. Thanks. I'll have to keep thinking of other ways to find this email address.
